An Introduction and Invitation for World-‐Builders March 2012 What is Creating the New World? Creating the New World (CtNW) is a non-‐profit organization and a design for a locally autonomous, globally coherent world-‐building movement in which “We, the People” literally create a world that reflects our deepest truths and highest aspirations as human beings. Purpose, Mission, and Intention Our mission is to awaken, engage, and unite humanity to create a fundamentally New World together. Through the implementation of our Architecture for Creating the New World™, we will initiate and support a locally autonomous, globally coherent world-‐building movement, empowering people to transform themselves, their communities, and the world simultaneously. What Challenge Does Creating the New World Address? The social, economic, political, and environmental challenges we face are systemic, interconnected, and symptoms of a deeper core issue. CtNW has the potential to address them all because it addresses the deeper issue and mobilizes the energy of the whole system to work concretely and coherently in common purpose. What is its Breakthrough Transformative Service to Humanity? The biggest obstacle to creating a thriving new humanity and world is mobilizing people and organizations everywhere to work coherently toward a common goal. Among us, we know change is necessary and we have everything we need. Many people and organizations have critical pieces to bring to the table. But without a framework for a coherent way forward, there IS no table to bring it to— people feel powerless, frustrated, or overwhelmed in the face of the scale, scope, and complexity of our many global challenges. CtNW breaks through this obstacle with a way to align, integrate, and leverage our collective resources in common purpose as a coherent global action movement. How is it Unique? It is a unique meta-‐design specific enough to empower your own life, powerful enough to unite all of humanity in common purpose, foundational enough to address every systemic global crisis we face, practical enough to put the whole world to work on a project of unparalleled, profound importance, and solid enough to be a literal foundation upon which to build a fundamentally New World. It responds to all challenges simultaneously and holistically, not by competing with other initiatives, but by empowering, uniting, and leveraging them. It’s the only initiative that frames creating the New World as a concrete task, lays out the body of work necessary, offers a viable participative way to carry it out, and is also:

How Does it Work? CtNW is an experience-‐based social action architecture that: • Offers a clear line of sight between a world in crisis and an amazing new one. People clearly see and experience for themselves where we are, where we’re going, and the body of work we’ll be doing to get there. This gives us direction, clarity, hope, and a feeling that we have the power to change things. • Uses transformative World-‐Building Workshops people host locally as the vehicles for world building. Within a cohesive global strategy, people directly experience that we have the reason, vision, power, and technology to create an amazing New World, and begin literally creating it together during the workshops. • Ensures local autonomy and maintains global coherence. Because people build locally on a common framework, it empowers them to transform their lives, communities, and the world simultaneously without prescribing or controlling. • Recreates wholeness with wholeness. We engage peoples’ whole selves (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), leverage whole systems (every sector of society), and focus on the good of the whole (everyone, all life, and the planet). • Self replicates. Each workshop produces whole-‐system alignment with our deepest truths and highest aspirations, concrete projects, plans for building physical New World Communities, a growing population of world-‐builders, and contributions to Humanity’s Global Vision™, which compounds and accelerates global transformation. How Can I Engage? The best way to bring your passion, ideas, expertise, and resources to this world-‐building party is to first experience CtNW yourself by hosting a workshop. Experiencing what it is and how it works will allow you to determine what is yours to do, how and to what extent you’d most like to engage, how your gifts fit into the larger picture, and where they could make the most difference.
